Gennaro di Iorio 1919
Gennaro di Iorio was born 2 October 1889 in Torre le Nocelle to Pietrantonio di Iorio and Emanuella Petriello. For a short while he was an American citizen... then he came to his senses and moved back to Torre :-)
From Gennaro's 1919 U.S. passport application:

**Louisa Ardolino, nee Postal was born 1869 in Austria to George Postal and Catherine Cavagnao. She married sculptor Emanuele Ardolino (from Torre) on 29 April 1905 in Boston MA. Her name keeps cropping up as a witness on many of the immigration records. From what I can gather she was a translator, notary public and actively involved in several Italian immigrant societies in the Boston area.

And here's Gennaro in 1921, when he applied for a return passport in Naples. I'm still hunting for a manifest for his return trip, but I'm thinking he probably decided to stay in Torre.

His petition for naturalization states there was an attached letter explaining why his U.S. citizenship was revoked ... but darned if I can find it.
